"Not that long ago, a significant portion of desktop GNU/Linux enthusiasts were actively advocating GNU/Linux among Windows users. I even remember doing it myself at one point, though now I really don't care what you use on your computer as long as I don't have to use it too. I thought that sentiment was isolated to me, but lately I've seen an abrupt decline in GNU/Linux evangelism on online forums. Here are some possible reasons for this change in community thinking and behavior."

Um, duh?
Ever heard of marketshare? How many "Joe Sixpacks," as you call them, have ever asked you about an "Ogg Vorbis" player?
None? And how many have asked you about an "MP3 player?"
Dozens?
Fact is, "JOe Sixpack" is HIGHLY UNLIKELY TO EVER "get hold of an .ogg" file. Period.
Hmmm .. boy, this is a tough one to figure out ...
